Informix Error Messages and Error Codes From Error 2934 to 2943

Informix Error Code -2934 The format width is less than the allocated display width.
The length of the FORMAT string that is specified for this field is less than the length of the field itself as shown in the SCREEN section. Review the screen layout, and revise it or the format so that they agree.
Informix Error Code -2935 The number of lines specified with the ‘-l’ option or in the screen section must be a positive integer from 6 to 600.
The vertical size of the screen, as indicated in the SCREEN statement or in the -l (lowercase L) command-line option, is out of range. Change it to specify the expected size of the terminal where the form will be used.

Informix Error Code -2936 The number of columns specified with the ‘-c’ option or in the screen section must be a positive integer from 30 to 600.
The horizontal size of the screen, as indicated in the SCREEN statement or in the -c command line option, is out of range. Change it to specify the expected size of the terminal where the form will be used.
Informix Error Code -2940 The column name appears both with and without subscripts.
This form displays all of the indicated column, and subscripted portion of it, in different fields. You can display different, subscripted parts of a column in different fields, but the parts cannot overlap. That is, portions of a column cannot be displayed twice on the same screen. Review all uses of the indicated column. Perhaps you did not intend to name it in both places. Perhaps two or more columns of the same name exist in different tables, and you need to use the table name to distinguish them. Otherwise, use nonoverlapping subscripts on each field of the column.

Informix Error Code -2941 name is not a display field name on the form.
This statement refers to a field as name, but no such name is defined. Check the spelling, and review the ATTRIBUTES section to see how the field was defined.
Informix Error Code -2943 You have exceeded the pseudo machine capacity.
The expression in this statement is too complex to process. Simplify it, and recompile the form. (See also error message -2988.)

What are Informix Error Messages?
All Informix messages returned by the Informix server are assigned an error code.

In general, each Informix error contains the following information:
• The Informix Error Code or Informix Error status
• The message text. This text is usually returned with the Error code. Some messages employ word substitution, where the word substituted represents the system-replacement of a term more specific to the occurrence.
• An explanation of how the error may have occurred.

After restoring a database that had just one memory optimized table, we dropped the table. Even without any memory optimized tables,number of checkpoint files keep going up every time we issue a checkpoint. For a while,...

In this blog Added per-operator level performance stats for Query Processing, Senior PM in QP talks about extending operator level performance stats. They include stats related to reads, CPU and elapse time. These are very helpful to track down query performance issues. We worked on recent case where we put ActualElapsedms in a good...
